IGN did an article on video game character halloween costumes. It's IGN, so I assume this has already been on the intarwebs for years now. But, I've never seen the Day of the Tentacle costumes before(which are awesome) and want all to see them in their glory.Check it.

Can't afford the Orange box? That's ok. You can play the Flash version of Portal for free - and it's just as good as the original! It even saves your progress. Check it out!

Game Description: Fire once to open up a portal and again at the location you want to reach. Walk through one portal and you'll come out the 2nd. Use that to escape each room etc. This is the flash version of the Valve game portal.

Challenge winner Radek challenges you to pixel a Mage or Wizard in animal form. For example, a bear wizard casting a spell wearing a hooded cape. The animal does not need to be furry, snakes, birds and even bugs are allowed ; )

Rules:

Colors - 32 max

Canvas Size - Any but 240x240 max.

Transparency - Allowed

Animation - Allowed

May be in a scene or a self standing sprite. Self standing sprites must be transparent.

The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

As part of the Jay is games competition #4 (www.jayisgames.com) the team stimunation has entered with a short but fun little adventure style minigame. The pixelart is leaning towards the old LucasArts classics of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle. It's short... but with some quality pixels in there.

All challenges aside, I am still sponsoring this years Pixelween competition. Huzzah! You have a much longer time to compete and complete this contest than the weekly challenges. So there's no excuses.
